Anscslote or Tom NIarsI,nli.

Tom Marshall was fond OF saying that
he and Rev. DIR. Breckinridge early in
life had taken different texts.' Toms
"was The bottle and DR.. Breckenridge's
the Bible, and certainly" added Tom,
"the reverend doctor will not deny that
have closely adhered 10 my text"
In the county in which the immortal
Tom chiefly practised at the bar and err
ratio jurist named Judge Nuttle presided,
and whenever Dan Rice's circus arrived
the Judge always announced:
"This court will now adjourn to see the
elephant swim the Ohio River"
In cause celebre, where the defend.
ant was tried for murder, possibly the
Matt Ward case, the Judge admitted
some testimony which thoroughly dis
gusted Tom Marshall over the barrister's
objections. He jumped to his feet, not
fully recovered from big game Of draw
poker the night before, and said in anger:
Judge, do you know that Pontius
Pllate convicted Jesus Christ by admit
ting just such testimony as that?"
The judge quickly replied:
"Clerk, fine Mr.. Marshall $50 for con.
tempt Of court"
Tom rose, and steadying his somewhat
vibratory motions against the railing
fronting the judges bench, with mock
gravity opened:
May it please your honor! 1t has been
some months since have seen $50 of my
own money. beg your honor to lend
me the money with which to pay the
fine"
The court was as.onished, but catching
Its judicial breath. replied soto voce:
"Mr. Clerk, upon reflection the court
is inclined to remit Tom Marshall's fine,
as the state Of Kentucky is better able to
lose that $50 than the court is Chicago

Fish ON ilsc Desert.

A most astonishing discovery was made
one day some two weeks ago, on the
desert about ten miles southeast OF May
hew's halfway house between Florence
and Casa Grande, and three miles from
Mr.. j. G. Loss's ranch. Felix Mayhem
and Mexican were out hunting horses
when they espied a small water hole
some two or three feet in diameter and
quite shallow. MF. Mayhem rode to It in.
tending to water his horse, when he
found it alive with fish. He left the
Mexican at the place and rode 10 Loss's
ranch for bucket to save them alive,
and when he returned the rapidly reced-
ing water had left the fish almost dry.
Out Of the little hole were taken four fine
carp, one five inches, one ten inches, one
twelve and one thirteen inches in length,
and they are now enjoying the hospitali.
ties Of Mr.. Mayhew's water tank and may
be seen by any one that passes his sta
tion. How the carp reached the water
hole Is the great mystery, as no one has
noticed sufficient overflow of the Santa
Cruz to bring them across sixty miles of
desolation, and yet there is no other way
Of accounting for their presence On the
desert. II they came from Silver Lake,
at Tucson, they evidently left home in
great hurry, for none Of them brought
canteen.--Entsrprise.

city bakes and roasts all Of its fowls by
the sun, by simply turning them loose in
a yard where there is no shade. Thirty
minutes is sufficient time to singe the
feathers clean off and roast the fowl for
the table. Old roosters take q few min
utes longer, pullets few minutes less.
Fish taken from the Salt river come
out salted, parboiled, and five minutes on
the sand make them delicious dish.
There are lots Of dogs that have had all
the hair singed off by the sun; they are
called Mexican dogs, they are as naked
as new bora child. Milk can be con-
verted into cheese few hours after il is
taken from the COW, and the reason the

| The failure o. the Legislature to elect
Mr.. CAMDEN, will be great disappoint-
ment to the majority of the Democracy OF
the State. There was n general sentiment
everywhere that Mr.. CAMDEN, above all
men who had been mentioned in cOnnec-
! ton with Senatorial hOnOrs, was most de
serving. lie deserved we'll of the DemOc-
racy for what he has done for the develop
ment of the State, for what he has done
for the success Of the party, and for what
he has done for the whole people in his ca
rccr rs Senator. The great majority OF the
people wanted him to again serve them.
But few did not. And this lew have
ruled the many.
Mr.. CAMDEN quits the field with honor.
Though defeated, he is greater than many
who have gained victories. His career as
Senator has been one marked with good
sound practical business ideas, and has
bren a credit to himself and our State. In
all the bitter warfare that has been made
upon him by the opposite party and by
dissatisfied individuals in his own party,
he has borne himself like man. The
charges of bribery and corruption that his
enemies brought against him, have been
dispersed into thin air and shown to be
nothing else than phantasms Of diseased
imaginatiOnS or fabricatiOns for political
effect, and he comes out of all without n
shadow of dishOnOr. Then his withdrawal
for the good of his party shows n spirit OF
magnanimity that will be appreciated by
the people of theStatc. The majority in the
LEGISLATURE, who have stood by him sOnObly
throughout the struggle would have stood
nv him to the last and gone down with
him in defense Of the usagcs Of their party.
But this Mr.. CAMDEN forbids, making hut
this request aS he does it: Your own
sense Of Justice will at once repel the idea
that a caucus shall be held with the under
standing that am the only Democrat in
the State who is unworthy OF its consider
alton. A minority may defeat the express
ed will of the majority and this at the cN-
pense OF party practices OF whose benefits
they have every one been the recipients,
but never with the assent of my friends
shall the tyranny of arbitrary revolt dis
franchise even the humblest citizen in the
ranks of the Democratic party
The people will at once see the justice
of this request and the I'M Democratic and
narrow grounds taken by the minority,
who treated Mr.. CAMDEN Is if he were
1.-THE only Democrat in the State who is I'M
worthy" the consideration OF the caucus,
and would ostracize him. The Democracy
is 4 party of the people. To ostracize or
distranchise even the humblest citizen Is
a poor kind of Democracy.
But the fight is over and ii is now time
to turn attention 10 the enemy. Judge
FAUKLNER is a man worthy to wear MIR.
CAMDEN : mantle. 1t is hoped that ander
his leadership the bitter family quarrels our
party has been having for the past few
months will have only increased our de
sire tor fight and sharpeued our swords Tor
execution against the common foe.

An Interesting Character.

The clotheSliae man Of Harlem is a
character ana holds monopoly of the
trade. The back yard is his stumpng
ground. Ills name is not known, but the
people OF the upper district call him the
Early Bird lie is Il young man, and,
with his right arm rounded with q coil OF
rope and his left covered with pulleyS, he
comes forth daily with the familiar cry OF
"clothesliues, penny yard; put it up for
nothing" and chiefly haunts the big apart
ment houses. TO obtain an entrance into
the yards OF these he is invariably obliged
TO run the gauntlet of hard hearted ianitor
or owners. When he effects IN entranCel 1t
is an easy matter to dispose of hundreds OF
yards of line and place it before the ianitOr
discovers and orders him OF. Speaking of
his strange business one day, the clothes
line hanger said:
'Ihaye been engaged in the scheme for
several years. It's my own idea and |
have no opposition. Yes, / often have
trouble in climbing poles, but my knowl-
edge of sea lite stands me in good stead in
slippery weather. Some days sell 1000
Yards of line and half hundred pulleys.

fences along the block and go from yard to
